Eazzy Banking App

This is a Mobile App mainly for smartphones that allows you to have the entire bank on your phone. Basically anything you would do in the banking hall can be done on the app, at your convenience. So you may pay bills, buy utilities, transfer funds, deposit and withdraw money, check loan and account details, et cetra.

The beauty is that you can actually withdraw cash from the ATM using the app, by just receiving a code that will link the machine to the App. You can also find out the status of your card, and even block access to it just in case you lose it.

This is banking for individuals, over the Internet. You can access it from your computer, Laptop, Tablet, or smartphone. You can do all the banking, buy bank shares, pay for utilities, send money, do electronic commerce, and even apply for a loan, all on the internet.
